Ep. 403: Empowering Women in Tech: Brittany Hansen's Journey

Tech Bytes - with Dan Hafner

In this episode of Tech Bytes, I speak with Brittany Hansen, a mother of four and co-founder of a SaaS company focused on delivering information in users' native languages. We discuss Brittany's journey in the tech industry, the challenges women face in a male-dominated field, and the importance of innovation and diversity. Brittany shares insights from her global expansion experiences, the balance of family and entrepreneurship, and how her practice of jiu-jitsu informs her business strategy. The conversation emphasizes the need for more voices in tech and the value of embracing challenges.
